North West are 5-a-side Champions!

Teams from all over the country travelled to Gosport to compete in the four classes - Junior Girls, Junior Boys, Senior Girls and Senior Boys - for the National 5-a-side, with the ultimate goal of returning with the Lord Burnham Trophy awarded to the winning area.

The atmosphere was competitive but friendly as teams cheered each other on.  Eastern Area took the Wilmott Cup for the Senior Girls, OC A Gregory from London Area, OC G Phillips from Northern Ireland and OC M Watt from Northern Ireland took player of the match for Junior Girls, Senior Girls and Junior Boys respectively. 

However the overwhelming winners were North West Area who took home the Wain Cup for Junior Girls, the Ganges Cup for Junior Boys, the Guinness Cup for Senior Boys and the Lord Burnham Trophy for overall winning area, as well as Cpl C Woods winning player of the match  in the Senior Boys competition.

CSC, Captain Mark Windsor also took to the pitch in a friendly match along with two Area Officers.

Congratulations go out to all the cadets who showed great sportsmanship throughout and to the volunteers and staff who worked behind the scenes, making the event run smoothly.

Sea Cadets to lead The Queen's barge for Thames...

54 Trinity 500’s, in diamond formation, carrying a flag for each of the Commonwealth nations will take the lead in front of Her Majesty’s barge, Gloriana, on the Thames on June 3 2012.
They will be joining over a 1000 vessels set to travel the seven mile route down the Thames in a spectacular celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
 
The flotilla will pass under 14 bridges in ten separate sections each marked by vessels carrying playing musicians.
 
Londoners got a preview of the big day earlier in the month when 15 Trinity’s took to the water at Putney for a dry run of the course. 60 cadets from units across the region including, Rickmansworth, Southwark, Rugby, Eastbourne, Tewkesbury and Oxford manoeuvred the craft with skill and dexterity impressing the Port of London Authority and MP Jim Fitzpatrick who were watching from a launch alongside. 
 
On the day 300 cadets will motor from Wandsworth Bridge to Tower Bridge, helping the Queen to celebrate 60 years since her coronation.
